Description

The weather is one of the biggest factors in aviation. From headwinds that slow you down to tailwinds that help you fly faster, storms that cause turbulence, and even hot days that make it harder to take off, the sky is always influencing how planes perform. In this episode, we break down how wind, temperature, storms, and icing affect flight, and why pilots train constantly to handle whatever the atmosphere throws their way.
